Boehly Rebuild Needed!
Following a crazy 21/22 Premier league season for the Blues both on and off the pitch, new owner Todd Boehly is looking to make a number of statement summer signings.

Love him or hate him, José Mourinho still delivers
We can all hear and read that José Mourinho is supposedly done. That his methods, his football style, and his charisma are a matter of the past. That the new era of managers came with all their new methods and pushed José aside. Well, I think they are wrong. Really, really wrong. And I think his results support my judgment.
